I enjoy listening to your analyses because you see things clearly and you give us explanations of events and things from someone with a lot of experience in international affairs. I'm an artist living 2,000 from Kiev and the war in Ukraine has made it hard to concentrate on my work. I'm worried especially about Mariupol falling apart and going into Russian hands. Biden's comment was not appreciated in Europe and it may be best explained by the iconic news paper journalist Simon Jenkins from The Guardian. He said, "an iron maxim of war is to imagine what your enemy most wants you to do, and not do it." Right from the first time he was asked about President Putin, President Biden said he thought Putin was a killer. It was right before their meeting in Geneva. I thought this was a gaffe. You can call it what you want to call it, by Biden's latest 'gaffe' about regime change gives Putin's backers some more ground to stand on. That being said, what I think is that you don't show your cards on the international stage. This is what Macron and the others are fumig about. I've written President Biden to say the same thing. You don't give away your hand. It would be ten times more powerful if Biden would keep his personal feelings out of international affairs. Don't forget; now other leaders who are negotiating are hobnobbing with someone who openly is calling for Putin to stand down. His opponents in Russia are very clear on this: they repeatedly say the Putin must be removed from power in their country. In this respect, I think that President Biden does not understand that what must be done is to allow your enemy a bridge over which to retreat---Simon Jenkins also wrote that in the article. W

@hansu7474 GGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. Every one of us gets our data from private sources. My belief is that everyone wants the war to end asap. This is a humanitarian disaster that will take years to settle out. Just rebuilding one small town in Ukraine will take months or longer. Biden and the Americans have nothing to gain by prolonging the conflict. But who am I to know better?
